Re: The Quickening - Videos
Personal notes: In the past I've focused almost exclusively on technical flaws, as that's what I feel I'm best suited to analyze. Towards the second round and up, I was finding myself struggling quite often with videos where technical issues were minor at best, and instead trying to work out how to ...

Re: The Quickening - Videos
Championship [Ileia] Thorns and Roses Am surprised I didn't think of Utena as a source when I was considering what I'd hoped would show up, especially since the box set for it is like an arms-length away from my desk. As for the video itself... Not sure what I can say. Was beautiful. Love the windo...

Re: The Quickening - Videos
First, congratulations to the winners of the finals. I ended up for various reasons not getting around to writing up a review before the conclusion. Still, it's nice to be able to read so many other people's comments as well. There were only a handful of other serious posts looking into the videos i...

Re: The Quickening - Videos
Semifinal EFGH [animAe] Boring Metropolis Lots of distracting video artifacts throughout the video, the type that I can't just attribute to source material. The sync during the bridge (~2:00+, particularly 2:05+) seems slightly off. As far as content.. this is a very difficult one to evaluate. Lyric...

Re: The Quickening - Videos
Another run of excellent videos. Groups E&F - 3 [Ileia] AMV Pop Culture (As Performed By Alchemists) The only video to draw directly from the song's original intent: pop culture. I recognized most of the styles, though it really only struck me as a direct parody when the Pop Up Video notes showed up...

Re: The Quickening - Videos
From the sound of it, you're probably using a rather nice LED monitor. The only reason I say that is before when I was using an adorable little LCD monitor I was quite happy. Now I've moved to a rather large LED monitor and dear lord...EVERYTHING IS UNCLEAN! D: D: D: SO DIRTY! >_______o There are a...

Re: The Quickening - Videos
Semifinal Group ABCD Going to ignore most video artifacts, as I assume they're pretty much all coming from the source material at this point. [Centurione] Don't Stop Me Now Nice use of Apollon for the instruments. A couple selections ran counter to my expectations (eg: low notes while he's at the hi...

Re: Semifinals
Watched the previews, but was waiting for the batch zip to download. Been several days, though, so I suppose I should just download manually and check them out again.

Re: Round 2
Oh, and just to toss out there (since none were turned in), the animes I'd hoped to see from F in round 2: Ghost Hound, Evangelion or Princess Resurrection. Well, can imagine them anyway. May keep on my list of things to try at some point.
